Heineken teaser ad staring Bérénice Marlohe

Earlier in the year there was some controversy when it was announced that for the first time ever, James Bond would drink Heineken on screen. The huge debate was wildly overdone as 007 drinks beer on several occasions in the books and memories are short, as he was seen drinking a bottle of beer in Quantum of Solace. And anyway, rather than ditching his vodka martinis, rest assured that he’ll be drinking both in Skyfall when released next month.

David Leigh founded The James Bond Dossier in 2002. A fan of 007 since the age of 8, he is also author of The Complete Guide to the Drinks of James Bond. You can order a copy here if you don't own it already.
